"Do heists like the one in the first Die Hard movie actually happen in real life?"
Why waste time type lot word when few word do trick?
Y tho?
Don't read while choking.
The Bonds names The James
Tried to write it in a short form π
I think you burnt the toast
To add another example, The Millenium dome raid is a good story of a foiled heist that is reminiscent of cinematic heists.
This one is insane. The police response really does feel like it's straight out of an action movie.
On 7 November at 9:30 am, Operation Magician was under way, commanded by Detective Superintendent Jon Shatford of the Metropolitan Police. A total of two hundred officers were involved in the operation, of which forty were from the Specialist Firearms Command (SCO19). A further sixty armed Flying Squad officers were stationed around the Thames, and twenty on the river itself to hamper any escape attempts. Surveillance officers were disguised as Dome employees. The Millennium Dome's CCTV room was used by the police as a control room.
Thanks for the link! Doing a research and this post is perfect.
What about the Millennium Falcon and the Kessel Run?!?
The Great train Robbery. https://w.wiki/84uK several books, movies out of this one. They lifted Β£58 million in today's money.
I really enjoyed this movie. Based on a true story, not sure exactly how accurate the movie is.
